song—i hae a wife o my ain(1/1)

song—i hae a wife o' my ain

i hae a wife of my ain,

i'll partake wi' naebody;

i'll take cuckold frae nane,

i'll gie cuckold to naebody.

i hae a penny to spend,

there—thanks to naebody!

i hae naething to lend,

i'll borrow frae naebody.

i am naebody's lord,

i'll be slave to naebody;

i hae a gude braid sword,

i'll tak dunts frae naebody.

i'll be merry and free,

i'll be sad for naebody;

naebody cares for me,

i care for naebody.
